Self, Peer and Group Assessment in E-Learning
Roberts, Tim S.
Information Science Publishing
Contributions from researchers and practitioners involved in self, peer and group assessment in an online or e-learning environment investigate how assessment practices can be used to assist and improve the learning process. The book describes the principal characteristics of self, peer and group assessment; presents guidelines for effective implementation, highlighting both benefits and problems; and provides examples in a variety of subject areas from secondary school students in different countries, large undergraduate classes, and Master's level courses. The aim is to encourage the development of higher-quality learning and assessment practices, ones in which the learners themselves assume a greater responsibility for, and play a more active role in, their own learning. Thirteen chapters include: (1) Self, Peer, and Group Assessment in E-Learning: An Introduction (Tim S. Roberts); (2) A Case Study in Peer Evaluation for Second Language Teachers in Training (Pamela L. Anderson-Mejias); (3) Peer and Self-Assessment in Portuguese Engineering Education (Natascha van Hattum-Janssen and Pedro C. C. Pimenta); (4) Learning and Assessment: A Case Study--Going the Full Monty (Mary Panko); (5) A Case Study of the Integration of Self, Peer, and Group Assessment in a Core First-Year Educational Psychology Unit through Flexible Delivery Implementation (Rozz Albon); (6) Culture of Critique: Online Learning Circles and Peer Reviews in Graduate Education (Margaret Riel, James Rhoads, and Eric Ellis); (7) Learning English for Technical Purposes: The LENTEC Project (Anne Dragemark); (8) Self and Peer Assessment in a Problem-Based Learning Environment: Learning English by Solving a Technical Problem--A Case Study (Bernarda Kosel); (9) Evaluating Designs for Web-Assisted Peer and Group Assessment (Paul Lam and Carmel McNaught); (10) How's My Writing? Using Online Peer Feedback to Improve Performance in the Composition Classroom (Vanessa Paz Dennen and Gabriel Jones); (11) Interpersonal Assessment: Evaluating Others in Online Learning Environments (Aditya Johri); (12) A Framework for Assessing Self, Peer, and Group Performance in E-Learning (Thanasis Daradoumis, Fatos Xhafa, and Angel Alejandro Juan Perez); and (13) E-Assessment: The Demise of Exams and the Rise of Generic Attribute Assessment for Improved Student Learning (Darrall Thompson).
